Storytelling -21st Century Style

Instruction will help students interpret and explore author's characters, and how to bring them to life, using different voices, movement etc. in selected short stories, dramas, and picture books. In addition, students will be creating their own "unique" characters and stories. Instruction will also be given in elements of technology so students will be able to use multi-media tools to enhance the setting and understanding of their characters. Finally, "improv" style situations will be given so that students interact with each other "in character". For ages 9-11.
